This is what I thought as well. However, my son showed me several kits 
that use different bulbs and a ballast. The bulbs are not just the 
blue tinted bulbs. They fit into the OE headlight housing and you 
mount the ballast nearby. Some kits include relays, some don't. I am 
worried they are a rip off (cost around $150 to $200). There is a very 
expensive Saleen Kit ($800) that also includes new housings, but I 
can't see that being worth the money.
